The early settlers concerned themselves first with clothing, then with bed coverings and eventually toweling and table linens. We will weave samples of typical 18th c. domestically produced weaving: checked cotton toweling, linen napery, linsey-woolsey, overshot, Venetian carpeting and wool blanketing. A slide lecture on domestic hand weaving and details of several antique textile collections will be included. Simple finishing techniques will be discussed.
3 day Round Robin class: weave structures, history, finishing & simple machine sewing.
All materials included with your tuition.
All classes run 9am - 5pm unless otherwise indicated in the description above.
